The Measurements ^ Anthropometric Table 



Of- 



EXPLANATION 

1 The table on the other side of this sheet shows how you compare with women from 17 to 
30 years of age. 

2 There are twenty-three columns, headed with bold figures indicating per cents. In each 
column such a percentage of the whole number of women had the development indicated, or less. 

3 If you are of medium height and well developed in every particular, the line across ths 
table, which joins the dots showing development of individual qualities, will follow closely the 
black figures of the 50 per cent, column. The better your measurements are, the more nearly 
straight will be this line which represents them. If tall or short, this table shows simply how you 
compare in each quality with the typical woman. Her development is the mean (average) of all 
heights and ages. 

4 The 25 per cent, and 75 per cent, columns, as well as the 50 per cent, column, are set off 
by bold lines to mark the limits of normal deviation from the 50 per cent, line or type. When 
your development in some particulars is below the 25 per cent, line, it may be necessary for you 
to take special corrective exercises. _ The physical director will point out any special lack, and tell 
you how to correct it under "Prescription of Exercise." 

5 If your Vitality Coefficient (V.C.) is very low, you require plenty of out-of-door exercise. 
Take only such corrective gymnastics and games as the physical director or your family physician 
may encourage. For women whose height is between the 25 per cent, and 75 per cent, lines, the 
use of coefficients may prove valuable. 

HEALTH HINTS 

(Emphasise the hints checked IVI &2/ the physical director.) 
"The first requisite to success in life is to be a good animal. ' Health, strength and vitality do 
not come by chance but by obedience to natural laws. Study health. 

1 Take special breathing exercises for from five to ten minutes out of doors or before an open 
window upon rising, before retiring and during exercise. Ventilate your room day and night. Cover 
well and sleep with windows open, even in winter. 

2 Eat regularly, lightly, slowly of plain food, using plenty of grain and fruits. Use variety 
in different meals, avoid unwholesome mixtures at the same meal. Stimulants are unnatural and 
unnecessary. 

3 Drink freely of pure water between meals. Take a glass or more of cool water upon rising 
and retiring. Have a regular hour for evacuation. 

4 The best time to bathe is immediately after moderate exercise. Do not cool off before bath- 
ing. The more frequent the bath, the shorter it should be. Rub vigorously after a cool bath, 
secure a fine glow, become thoroughly alive. Use a graded bath, beginning with warm and finishing 
with a cool dash. 

Never take a cold bath when exhausted, out of breath, within two hours after a full meal or 
just before such a meal. Wait about ten minutes after a bath before going out of doors. 

5 Do not wear a tight belt or tight clothing, especially during exercise. It restricts circvilatioi). 
Adapt weight of clothing to the season and the weather. 

6 Rest is as essential as food. Take eight hours or more of sleep. 

7 Preserve your eyesight. Read only by a good light and let it fall over your left shoul- 
der. Bathe the eyes frequently with clean, cool water. 

8 Exercise regularly, vigorously with enthusiasm, viz.: Have a definite time for it, give it all 
your energy, enjoy it to the full. > 

Emphasize games and all out of door life. _ If necessary be a crank about some game or games 
which is approved as good for you by the physical director.^ 

Avoid exercise forbidden by the director or your physician. Avoid exhausting feats of strength. 
Take no vigorous exei cise within two hours after a full meal. Never exercise until exhausted. 

As long as you are able to be about, you will profit by exercise. You require it as much as food. 
Adapt it to your need as you do the food.

Chest expansion and height are in centimeters ; lung capacity is in litres. If the lung capacity 
is in cubic inches, divide by 61 to reduce it to litres. If the other measurements are in inches, use 
a Seaver measuring rod to transpose into centimeters, or divide by .393. 

The formula for the Respiratory-IIeight Coefficient is: 

Chest Expansion x Lung Capacity 
Height 

This product of Chest Expansion and Lung Capacity divided by Height shows the amount of 
respiratory strength and function for each centimeter of height. 
The Formvila for the Organic Strength-Height Coefficient is: 

Height SiUing x h {Breadth of Chest + Breadth of Waist) r Depth of Trunk 
Height 

The half sum of Breadth of Chest contracted and expanded is used for Breadth of Chest ; the 
half sum of Depth of Chest contracted and expanded is used for Depth of Chest ; the half sum of 
Depth of Chest and Abdomen is used for Depth of Trunk. 

This coefficient represents the relative size and power of the vital organs of the trunk for each 
centimeter of height. It is approximately the ratio of the solid contents of the trunk to the height. 

The VitaUty Coefficient (V.C.) is the product,— B. H. C. x O. S. H.C. 

It is the product of the total exhibition of respiratory strength by the total strength of the 
vital organs as indicated by their bulk. It is a merging of all the capacity for endurance into one. 
It is generally conceded that vitality varies in direct ratio with each one of the phj^ical qualities 
used in the calculation of these coefficients, with lung capacity, chest expansion, height sitting, 
breadth of chest, breadth of waist and depth of chest ; then the combination of all these qualities 
should produce a most satisfactory general index of vital strength and function. 

The Vitality Coefficient calls attention to the fact that vitality is high medium or low; the 
Eespiratorv-Height Coefficient indicates whether respiratory function is responsible for the condi- 
tion; the Organic Strength-Height Coefficient whether trunk capacity is responsible; the graphical 
representation of development upon the table indicates the particular measurement or measure- 
ments which are responsible for the character of the coefficients, and shows where development 
ifl needed. 



Weight 

The formula* for the Vital- Weight Coefficient is : . i v i .• 

It shows the ratio of vital function to the body-bulk to be sustained ; that is to Say roughly, the relation 

of the purveying organs to the organism. Of two men of the same weight, the man with large trunk and 

good respiratory power should have the greater vitality. 

*NoTE— The formulas are based on the metric system. For formulas adapted to the common system 

see "Manual for Physical Measurements", Hastings.
